Police storm home and catch man red-handed

A 'county lines' drug dealer who police said 'advertised' the sale of heroin and crack cocaine to vulnerable addicts using a 'graft' phone has been jailed.

Daniaal Ghafoor was found in possession of 16 individual wraps of heroin and 32 wraps of crack cocaine when police raided a house in Rochdale. Further searches at Ghafoor's house in Bury uncovered another 'large amount' of drugs, said police, with the total haul seized worth around £150,000.

Greater Manchester Police said in a statement issued after he was sentenced that he was working for a county lines network and used a mobile phone to send multiple messages advertising the sale of crack cocaine and heroin to addicts. The 29 year-old, of Market Street, Bury, is now beginning a four-year prison sentence.
